“Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful.” -Buddha

The 21st century,eh?

To live in this country, during this century, you have to learn to laugh at yourself.
This just represents our overall dependence on technology and our laziness. It was too difficult to sit at a chair at a desktop computer. We had to make one to fit on our lap, so we could surf the internet and watch television at the same time!
Why use words to express yourself when you can use your face!? We are a culture of gestures and facial expressions. We can have whole conversations without saying a word.
Unfortunately, I see these ridiculous gang signs EVERYWHERE i go! They have become such a huge part of our culture, or at least the culture in our area, that this little boy has somehow gotten the idea that making them and his hairstyle, are cool. Ahhh, the golden arches. Everyone in the Chicagoland area probably has a Mcdonald's within walking distance of their house. Do you think they ever actually walk there? NO, because you know what they are " lovin' " ? Driving up to the drive thru, and stuffing their faces with grease that has been hardened and painted like a hamburger.
The typical faded,ripped and ridiculously short, miniskirt. They are all over the place these days. You see them on teenagers, little girls, and older women who are desperately trying to be young again. Why have a skirt cover your private area, when you can show it off to the whole word and get a nice breeze?

  2. It's funny that you mentioned laptops. I'm sitting on my couch during a Lazy Sunday right now grading these blog posts, and my husband just told me to shove over so he could watch TV :) Go to a Starbucks on a weeknight and you'll have people talk with each other on their laptops across the table from each other. What happened to a good old fashioned face to face conversation?
